QUICK START GUIDE
Fig. A
Make sure all accessories and the blade
are installed correctly and are tight before
operating the saw.
NOTE: The blade has been installed in the
mitre saw at the factory. Rechecking the
blade before cutting is necessary.
Use the hold-down clamp to hold the
workpiece firmly against the fence to
prevent movement towards the blade. It is
safer than using your hand and it frees both
hands to operate the mitre saw.
With the power switch OFF, bring
the saw blade down to the workpiece to see
the cutting path of the blade. Then, squeeze
trigger switch to start saw and lower blade
into workpiece with a firm downward
motion.
Hold the cutting arm in the down position.
Release trigger switch and wait for all
moving parts to stop before moving your
hands and raising the cutting arm.
A bowed workpiece (1) must be positioned
against the fence and secured with a hold-
down clamp (2) as shown before cutting.
